### [`ENTRYPOINT`](https://docs.docker.com/reference/builder/#entrypoint)
|

|

The best use for `ENTRYPOINT` is as the main command.
|
||||
The best use for `ENTRYPOINT` is to set the image's main command, allowing that
|
||||
image to be run as though it was that command (and then use `CMD` as the
|
||||
default flags).
|
||||
|
||||
Let's start with an example, of an image for the cli tool `s3cmd`:

Let's start with an example of an image for the command line tool `s3cmd`:
|
||||
|
||||
ENTRYPOINT ["s3cmd"]
|
||||
CMD ["--help"]
|
||||
|
||||
Now people who consume this image can easily run commands via syntax like the
|
||||
following:
|
||||
Now the image can be run like this to show the command's help:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker run scmd ls s3://mybucket
|
||||
$ docker run s3cmd
|
||||
|

This is nice because the image name can double as a refernce to the binary as

||||
Or using the right parameters to execute a command:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker run s3cmd ls s3://mybucket
|
||||
|

This is useful because the image name can double as a reference to the binary as
|
||||
shown in the command above.
|

|
||||
People also often use `ENTRYPOINT` is as a helper script.
|
||||
The `ENTRYPOINT` instruction can also be used in combination with a helper
|
||||
script, allowing it to function in a similar way to the command above, even
|
||||
when starting the tool may require more than one step.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, let’s look at the `Dockerfile` for the
|
||||
[Postgres Official Image](https://github.com/docker-library/postgres).
|
||||
It refers to the following script:
|
||||
For example, the [Postgres Official Image](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/postgres/)
|
||||
uses the following script as its `ENTRYPOINT`:

The helper script is copied into the container and run via `ENTRYPOINT` on

This script allows the user to interact with Postgres in several ways.
|
||||
|
||||
It can simply start Postgres:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker run postgres
|
||||
|
||||
Or, it can be used to run Postgres and pass parameters to the server:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker run postgres postres --help
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, it could also be used to start a totally different tool, such Bash:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker run --rm -it postgres bash
